Stored Registry

[LordofEchoSide]

I was just wondering where the registry is stored. A friend wanted to find something in the registry on his other hard drive.

User.dat and system.dat, both are hidden files. He could just run regedit and search for what he wants on the other hard drive.

I can't seem to find it :(

Did you go into folder options and check "show all files" ? They are in C:\windows.

[LordofEchoSide]

yeah, I did. but it's not there :confused:

What OS? Windows XP and 2000 are different.


Took this off of Annoyances.org (http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/registry)
In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the Registry is stored in several Hives, located in the \windows\system32\config and \Documents and Settings\{username} folders.
